I thought I'd try to something to encourage a review of FAs. What does everyone think of this? Tuf-Kat 03:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
== Diffs ==
I'm interested in helping. I'll start with putting in the diffs, unless someone objects. Superm401 | Talk 05:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:For the ones that go back to brilliant prose, I'm choosing the day the text on the talk page was changed to "featured". The featured tag may not have been added that day. Superm401 | Talk 05:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:Please help! Adding the diffs is rather time-consuming and tedious, so the more people helping the better. I've been using the same standard for choosing a date, so that works well. Tuf-Kat 05:58, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
::Also, I'm going to go back and put in diff=current instead of diff= "whatever oldid people put here". That will tell the engine to compare the version as first featured with the most current version; that makes more sense than the latest version as of when someone did the diffs. Superm401 | Talk 06:12, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
::Another question: I should put the date of the latest version as of when it was featured, not the date ''it was featured'', right? Do you understand the distinction? Superm401 | Talk 06:24, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I think I understand. If the article is promoted on April 16, but no one edited it between April 12 and April 19, the April 12th version and date should be used (or at least, that's what I've been doing). Tuf-Kat 06:57, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Nice job with the template! I've created Template:FAF for talk pages of reviewed articles. Tuf-Kat 08:40, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I've created a separate template for articles currently under review. Is there a way to force the timestamps to stay on one line? It looks messy as is, and would be better if the article title wrapped onto two lines instead of the timestamp. Tuf-Kat
::::Thanks. I like {{tl|CurrentFAR}}. I was planning to make something like that but didn't get around to it. I managed to fix the wrapping just by moving the tools box(blocking the right of the table) up. Can I ask how you changed all the rows to use the template? I couldn't figure out a simple way to do it automatically(though I didn't spend that much time on it, and was a bit tired). Superm401 | Talk 21:11, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I just put the whole thing in AppleWorks and did some creative finding/replacing. Messed up a couple times, but eventually I got there. Tuf-Kat 21:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
::: This is painful. Can someone write a bot to automate this process? deeptrivia (talk) 22:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
